This high-level panel will examine current progress in linking sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) with HIV – looking at community engagement, policy coordination, systems strengthening and service delivery aspects. The panel will present on a series of underlying principles shaping a renewed Call to Action for continued and expanded focus on SRHR–HIV linkages. Linking SRHR and HIV is an important contributory strategy for reaching SDG 3: "Good health and wellbeing", and associated Target 3.8: "Achieving universal health coverage", particularly for young people, and people living with and affected by HIV. The panel will present national, civil society, donor and development partner perspectives. The Satellite will highlight how linking HIV with broader SRHR programmes is a key approach for reaching the overarching goal of eliminating AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
